DeVito, C. L.

Mathematics is as much a part of our humanity as music and art. And it is our mathematics that might be understandable, even familiar, to a distant race and might provide the basis for mutual communication. This book discusses, in a conversational way, the role of mathematics in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. The author explores the science behind that search, its history, and the many questions associated with it, including those regarding the nature of language and the philosophical/psychological motivation behind this search.

Through the heuristic concepts of the "politics of authentication" and "aesthetics of persuasion," this volume explores the centrality of this tension to heritage formation worldwide.

Paternalism, Policing, and Identity Politics in Vienna, 1700-1914

Natarajan, A.

Using a wide range of material including legal, criminal, literary, and political sources, Servants of Culture brings forward the previously neglected history of a mass migration of women from the Habsburg Empire’s countryside to work as servants for bourgeois households, inns and hotels during the second half of the 19th century. At the time, socio-political players claimed to want to improve the living and working conditions of these migrants but as Natarajan demonstrates these efforts resulted in an increase in surveillance and a restriction of freedoms for women and servants in Viennese history.

Venereal Disease, Colonial Physicians, and Indigenous Agency in German Colonialism, 1884-1914

Walther, D. J.

In responding to the perceived threat posed by venereal diseases in Germany’s colonies, doctors took a biopolitical approach that employed medical and bourgeois discourses of modernization, health, productivity, and morality. Their goal was to change the behavior of targeted groups, or at least to isolate infected individuals from the healthy population. However, the Africans, Pacific Islanders, and Asians they administered to were not passive recipients of these strategies.

Rethinking Social Memory in the Age of Information

Freeman, L. A., Nienass, B., & Daniell, R. (eds)

This volume addresses the tension between loud and often spectacular histories and those forgotten pasts we strain to hear. Employing social and cultural analysis, the essays within examine mnemonic technologies both new and old, and cover subjects as diverse as U.S. internment camps for Japanese Americans in WWII, the Canadian Indian Residential School system, Israeli memorial videos, and the desaparecidos in Argentina. Through these cases, the contributors argue for a re-interpretation of Guy Debord’s notion of the spectacle as a conceptual apparatus through which to examine the contemporary landscape of social memory, arguing that the concept of spectacle might be developed in an age seen as dissatisfied with the present, nervous about the future, and obsessed with the past.

Sounds of Modern History

Auditory Cultures in 19th- and 20th-Century Europe

Morat, D. (ed)

Since the late 19th century, there has been a paradigmatic shift in auditory cultures and practices in European societies. This change was brought about by modern phenomena such as urbanization, industrialization and mechanization, the rise of modern sciences, and of course the emergence of new sound recording and transmission media. This book contributes to our understanding of modern European history through the lens of sound by examining diverse subjects such as performed and recorded music, auditory technologies like the telephone and stethoscope, and the ambient noise of the city.

Subjective Realist Cinema

From Expressionism to Inception

Campora, M.

“…identifies and defines a distinct group of films within contemporary complex narrative films, partly tracing historical antecedents, using a useful taxonomy for contemporary complex narrative films.” · Nitzan Ben Shaul, Tel Aviv University

Subjective Realist Cinema looks at the fragmented narratives and multiple realities of a wide range of films that depict subjective experience and employ “subjective realist” narration, including recent examples such as Mulholland Drive, Memento, and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. The author proposes that an understanding of the narrative structures of these films, particularly their use of mixed and multiple realities, enhances viewers’ enjoyment and comprehension of such films, and that such comprehension offers a key to understanding contemporary filmmaking.

The implications of this result are discussed in the context of the development of hunter-gatherer cultural complexity in general and the course of Japanese prehistory in particular.
